TCU (3-4) vs. Kansas (2-5) Game Preview

One Reason Why TCU Will Win

Welcome back, Kansas.

The Jayhawks looked like they’d become a fun part of the Big 12 puzzle earlier in the season, but as it turned out, the blowout wins over Central Michigan and Rutgers just weren’t that big a deal – both teams are totally miserable.

Big 12 play kicked in, and the Jayhawks went back to getting blown away by double-digit margins.

The offense just isn’t moving the ball.

The two wins came off of 12 turnovers. The D might still be taking the ball away, but when it’s not, the O just isn’t there.

The running game has failed to hit the 100-yard mark in either of the last two games, and has yet to hit 150 in any of the five losses. The passing attack hasn’t been awful – it’s able to get to 200 yards on a regular basis with seven touchdown passes over the last three games – but it’s not nearly enough to get by.

TCU’s defense is No. 1 in the Big 12 in third down stops, and Kansas is dead last in the league in third down conversions.

Worst of all, the team is getting destroyed in the turnover margin – it has yet to be on the plus side of the mark against an FBS team.

The Horned Frogshave turned the ball over 16 times in the last six games. Kansas has to come up with a whole lot of takeaways to make this interesting. It might just come up with a whole lot of takeaways.
